Shabana Azmi to Play a Major Role<\/h3>\n

Other key roles include Shabana Azmi as Admiral Margaret Parangosky, the head of the Office of Naval Intelligence.<\/p>\n

For Shabana Azmi the win is not around working with Steven Spielberg but rather the colored and diverse cast.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can\u2019t get bigger than this! Asian actors have been fighting for color-blind casting for years. Finally, it\u2019s become a reality! This is completely new territory for me. I’m both excited and nervous which is a good place to be in.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the Halo video game’s storyline, Commander-in-Chief ONI (CINCONI) Margaret Parangosky was not a woman of color. But her prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Serin Osman is. Serin Osman is an enhanced human even though the physical augmentation program she was in was considered a failure. She later goes on to take over CINCONI.<\/p>\n

We don’t know about you, but the inspired casting choices are making us look forward to this series more and more!<\/p>\n
